Le Fou (The Crazy)

1 Oct

I’ve recently become a little obsessed with watching short videos to punctuate my writing work. I love The Nowness, a website full of contemporary short films, and today I loved this one. Le Four (The Crazy) tells the story of Senegalese child gangs through krump dance. Yep, you read that right. Random, but fascinating. The dancer is Dexter and it was directed by Christopher Michael Tew.

Milliner extraordinaire Stephen Jones

Stephen Jones in his finest

I just watched this on Art Nation. Stephen Jones is my favourite milliner, so I was super excited to see Fernella Kernebone interview him about his new exhibition at The Queensland Art Gallery in Brisbane. He even made her a divine Alice Band headpiece from foil while conducting the interview. Impressive Stephen! 

Art Nation is such an interesting show, also check out the piece about the secret art life of Eye Surgeon, Peter, who has taken up ballet in his 50’s. Inspirational.
